of administration. Approximately 2,000 persons marched in the parade as escort to the 1,800 veterans who fought for the position of horror in the rear. Companies of the Indiana National Guard from South Bend and Elkhart headed the line under the command of Major Geo.W. Freyermuth of South bend. The Notre Dame University batallion of four companies of cadets and many bands heightened the effect of the military pageant. The Sons of Veterans’ Auxiliary elected Mrs. Flora Harlan of Richmond president, Mrs. May Wood of Valparaiso, vice president and Mrs. Elizabeth Ireton of Richmond, treasurer. Made a Mistake. Evidently there is mistake of some sort in the assessor’s report of the number of dogs in Bremen. It gives the total number as only 57—fifty-five gentlemen dogs and two lady dogs. Now everybody knpws that more dogs than that can be seen on the street almost any time. And merchants who have kept careful count agree that some days several hundred dogs stop arid register at favorable points Unless there is a large error in the assessor’s count the conclusion is unavoidable that Bremen dogs have a lot of company from out of town every day.—Bremen Enquirer.

INTERESTING EXPERIENCES OF A TRIP INFOREIGN LANDS BY MRS. MATTIE CROW-FICK. (Switzerland Continued) We were wakened by the ringing of the Hospice bell calling us to six o’clock breakfast, then were off for another climb on foot up the peaks. Mr. Fick again climbed higher than I did, but I was up in the world higher than I ever was before or ever expect to be again. We could see Mount Blanc’s snowy summit afar to the southwest and all around us rocks, hills and hollows, dizzy heights and yawning depths. Far below us were the Hospice shepherds leading the herds of cows, each with a wide leather collar and bell, up the ravines to pasture. The tingling of their bells and occasional “whoo-whoo” of some mountain climber, throwing its echo from the opposite hills, was all that broke the profound stillness. Not even a bird nor sign of life any where. Wending our way back again down the deep cliff in time to visit the St. Bernard dog kennels we dropped the ordinary price of our night’s lodging into the contribution box and at a few minutes past eight started back to Orseriers. Mr. Fick walked down the first ravine and as the driver and I wound down terrace after terrace he continually appeared and disappeared from our view. The sun shone brightly and the snow and sunshine, the green valleys and icy rocks, with clouds wreathing around some of the sharpest peaks, made a mixture of scenery grand beyond description. Far. faf up some of the dizzy slopes are tiny little fields of potatoes, oats and rye. The mystery to us was how the potatoes keep from rolling out of the hills. Occasionally we find some farmer lying flat on his stomach while weeding or digging about his small farm. Just how comfortable a position this is for farming I am unable to say, but it certainly possesses merits of safety, there being less danger of losing his footing and suddenly falling out of the field. In some places the hay-makers tie the hay in large bundles and roll it down the side of the mountains. Down it comes, bumping, bumping, and often lands itself quite near the farmer’s barn door ready to be stored away. Near St. Pierre we picked up an Alpine climber who spoke good German and had a nice collection of wild flowers of the Alps, among them the “Eidelwies.” He presented me with a small bunch. It is the tiny greyish-white flower which grows in the most inaccessible places. To reach it is considered one of the most difficult feats of mountain climbing and we were told that on an average twenty peoa year lose their lives in the attempt. While eating our noonday lunch at a little outside restaurant at Orseries (all restaurants serve meals out on the sidewalks in Europe) we thought our train was leaving us, and in this sudden flight I quite unintentionally ran away with the salt spoon and my napkin. After boarding the departing train we were informed by the conductor in a mixture of native Swiss and very bad French, that it was not our train, so I trudged wearily back with my confiscated chattels, apologized to the proprietor in English, received his forgiveness in French, and we had a jolly laugh together in both languages, then waving him a hasty “au revoir” we catfght the right train. At Martigny we had a wait of four hours, and on this hot August noonday it was certainly far from being the ideal little spot we had thought it when we spent a night there only a few days previous. Martigny is only a small round hole in the mountains and when the summer sun shines from directly overhead and the circling cliffs shut out all air. Oh, it is hot. However. I fared quite well regardless of the heat, for sitting by a large table in the middle of the first-class waitcontinued on last page)

Will Present Drama. Sunday School class No. 4 of the Richville M. E. church, under the training of Lora Hire, are preparing to give a drama in three acts, founded on Holy Scripture. There are ten leading characters besides court ladies, flower girl, guards, Persian dancers, pages, maids of honor, etc. The date will be decided on later. The play, entitled Queen Esther, is founded on the Esther, a book of the Old Testament, which is supposed to have been written about 640 B. C. The language of the original manuscript is Hebrew, intermingled with numerous Persian words. Esther’ having been left fatherless and motherless at a tender age, is adopted by her uncle Mordecai. Nature had endowed her with many charms, and her uncle had trained her in the accomplishments of highest womanhood. Vashti, the wife of Ohasuerus, Persia’s sovereign, is banished from the King,s throne and heart because she refuses to obey his mandates to present herself before him. Esther finds favor in the King’s sight aud by keeping her race secret, ascends to the throne. Haman is premier and favorite of the king. He obtains a decree to destroy all Jews in the provinces. Moedicai discovers the plot and exhorts Esther to plead with the king to preserve her people. This she does at the risk of her life. By relating the story of the wrongs commited against her race she saves them from a terrible death. Haman is executed on the gallows he erected for Mordecai. Mordecai is proclaimed premier and it is ordered that “henceforth let Jew and Persian equally be honored.” Notice to Shalfespeare Club Members.

A Big Catch At Ditton’s Edward Ditton reports a splendid catch of fish by some of the guests of his hotel on Lake Wawasee. 18 buckets of fish were caught and shipped from there on Monday and Tuesday.

Lake Season Opening. In a trip around lake Wawasee Sunday, quite a few signs of activity were noticed. While the season is still early, a number of people are already settled for the summer. Quite a few new cottages are in different stages of completion, and numerous improvements including painting and remodeling are under way. Wise ones assert that the coming summer will be the largest by far that the lake has enjoyed, cottages are scarce even now and those that remain unrented are held at as high as ten dollars a month in excess of their former rental. ’ All of the summer hotels and parks are ready for the summer visitors and are even now enjoying a substantial patronage. While the fishing season was slow in coming, it redeemed itself when it did arrive, and numerous fine catches are reported. Delivered Interesting Sermon. The following was handed us with a request to print it. Akron, Ind., May 22.—“ The Cloud of Witnesses” was the subject of the instructive and interesting sermon delivered by the Rev. M. W. Johnson Sunday evening, at the Church of God. The service was very impressive and moved the large congregation as was shown when at the close of the sermon an invitation was given for any who wanted to start in the Christian life, a very prominent young lady arose from mid-way of the congregation and came forward and -united with the church. So common is it for some one to unite with the church at every service, that it would be a surprise for the service to close without an accession.

FISH HATCHERY NEARJWLETION A Few Facts Gathered in Connection With the State Fish Hatchery. - —- State Fish and Game Commissioner Miles was a caller at the Journal office Saturday and stated that the state fish hatchery built between lakes Wawasee and Pappakeechie was nearly finished and expressed the wish that the people would inspect it. Among other things he said that there was a wrong impression abroad in regard to the placing of the hatchery where it is. Some of the people imagine that it is intended more of a benefit to private individuals than the community at large. The truth is that the ground was donated by the Northern Indiana Developement Association and they also pay one-third of the cost with the agreement that they have one-third of the fish for their lake. The Wawasee Protective Association also contributed a third ot the expense, making the state’s sha re a little less than a third. Two ponds are being constructed, one of three acres and the other two. About a half million bass will be furnished each year and from one to two million wall-eyed pike Mr. Miles is anxious that the people view the finished hatchery as it is a difficult thing to explain on paper.
